The InternationalSpace Station is an orbiting laboratory and construction site that synthesizes the scientific expertise of 16 nations to maintain a permanent human outpost in space. While floating some 240 miles (390 kilometers) above Earth's surface, the space station has hosted a rotating international crew since November 2000. Astronauts and supplies are ferried by the U.S. space shuttles and the Russian Soyuz and Progress spacecraft. Astronauts who reach the facility aboard one of these missions typically live and work in orbit for about six months.
Simply by spending time in orbit, astronauts reveal much more about how humans can live and work in space. Crews have learned the difficulties of diet, in a world in which their sense of taste is decreased, and of getting a good night's sleep while secured to a non-floating object.
But the crew is also occupied with a full suite of scientific experiments, the ongoing improvement and construction of the station, and a rigorous regime of physical training. Astronauts must exercise for two hours each day to counteract the detrimental effects of low gravity on the body's skeleton and circulatory system.
Ongoing Construction
The station has been under construction since November of 1998. In that year the first piece of its structure, the Zarya ControlModule, was launched into orbit with a Russian Proton rocket. In 2008, the two-billion-dollar science lab Columbus was added to the station, increasing the structure to eight rooms.
The floating facility's design features a series of cylinder modules attached to a larger truss of a dozen segments. The Zarya Module is mainly used for storage and external fuel tanks, while the Zvezda Service Module houses the crew's living quarters and the station's many life-supporting systems. The space station is powered by solar panels and cooled by loops that radiate heat away from the modules. The station's Destiny laboratory functions as a unique floating facility for tests of materials, technologies, and much more. The Columbus lab was designed to house experiments in life sciences, fluid physics, and other fields.
Docking ports allow the station to be visited by a growing variety of spacecraft, and the Quest Airlock enables access for the frequent spacewalks essential to the facility's continuing construction.
Canadarm2 is another important feature of the space station. This Canadian-built apparatus is a large, remote-controlled space arm that functions as a crane and can be utilized for a wide variety of tasks.
The International Space Station may be completed by the end of this decade. When construction is finished, six crew members will be able to live and work in a space larger than a typical five-bedroom house.

The InternationalSpace Station is a manned orbital station used as a multipurpose space research complex. A joint international project involving 14 countries: the United States, Russia, Japan, Canada and members of the European Space AgencyBelgium, Germany, Denmark, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, France, Switzerland, Sweden. Initially, the participants were Brazil and the United Kingdom.
Management is carried out: the Russian segment - from the Space FlightControl Center in Korolev, the US segment from the Lyndon JohnsonFlight ControlCenter in Houston. Management of laboratory modules - the EuropeanColumbus and the JapaneseKibo - is controlled by the European Space Agency's Management Centers (Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany) and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (Tsukuba, Japan). There is a constant exchange of information between the Centers.
Building
The agreement foresaw the creation of a joint project - the International Space Station (ISS). In addition to the FederalSpace Agency of Russia (Roscosmos) and the National Aerospace Agency of the United States (NASA), the project involved the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), the European Space Agency (ESA, unites 17 member countries), the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), and Also the space agency of Brazil (AEB). Interest in the ISS project was expressed by India and the People's Republic of China. On January 28, 1998, the final agreement on the construction of the ISS was signed in Washington.
The assembly of the International Space Station began in November 1998. Russian modules were launched and docked automatically, except the Dawn module. All other modules were delivered by shuttles, requiring the crew to install the InternationalSpace ShuttleStation with the help of a mobile service system and spacewalks; As of June 5, 2011, 159 components were added for more than 1000 hours of the PAC. 127 of these exits to outer space originated from the station, and the remaining 32 - from the locks docked space shuttle. The beta-angle of the station (the percentage of the Sun's impact on the station and the docked vehicles) must remain unchanged during the entire construction period.
Structure
The International Space Station is a third-generation station with a modular structure, modules can be added or deleted during the flight, which adds flexibility to the structure. Different segments are created by the efforts of the participating countries of the project and have their own specific function: research, residential or warehouse. Some of the modules, for example, American modules of the Unity series, are jumpered or used for docking with transport vehicles. In the completed form, the ISS will consist of 14 main modules with a total volume of 1,000 cubic meters, the crew will consist of 6 or 7 people on board the station.
Station visit
By May 28, 2014, the ISS was visited by 214 people made 359 flights in 40 expeditions, which is a record for space stations (104 people visited the "World"). The International Space Station was the first example of the commercialization of space flights. Roscosmos together with the company Space Adventures for the first time sent into orbit space tourists. In addition, in the framework of the contract for the purchase of Russian arms by Malaysia, Roskosmos in 2007 organized a flight to the ISS of the first Malaysian cosmonaut, Sheik Muszafar Shukor.
DimensionsThe length is 51 meters, the width along with the farms is 109 meters, the height is 20 meters, weight is 417.3 tons. The height of the ISS orbit is 337-351 km above the ground. The speed of the orbit is 27,700 km / h. This allows the station to complete a complete revolution around our planet in 92 minutes. That is, every day astronauts on the ISS meet 16 sunrises and sunsets, 16 times a night replaces the day. Now the ISS crew consists of 6 people.
The International Space Station is the undisputed leader in value (but far from ambiguous in importance and result) a space project. The price of building and maintaining the station in an efficient condition, according to approximate estimates of experts, is already approaching or even exceeded $ 150 billion.

I apologize for low quality video, but my older version of Adobe Premiere leaves me no alternative.
PART 04 - ServiceMission 1
As the first Expedition draws to a close, future plans for the station require some of its modules to be relocated. For this, a special double-mission will be flown to reposition these modules that cannot move on their own.
Gemini and Titan were also built thanks to Bluedog Design Bureau, but the Falcon (specifically, its engine cluster) required a more unique mod set called SSTU. It appears to have nearly infinitely resizable, repaintable and rescalable parts, as well as single-part craft. While I continue to use Cormorant's shuttle, SSTU has a shuttle body as well. Try it for yourself and see which works better, its still a great part set to have (and we will soon see its crown jewel and the main reason I got it, in upcoming parts)

Space station

A space station, also known as an orbital station or an orbital space station, is a spacecraft capable of supporting a crew, which is designed to remain in space (most commonly as an artificial satellite in low Earth orbit) for an extended period of time and for other spacecraft to dock. A space station is distinguished from other spacecraft used for human spaceflight by lack of major propulsion or landing systems. Instead, other vehicles transport people and cargo to and from the station. As of September 2014 two space stations are in orbit: the International Space Station, which is permanently manned, and China's Tiangong-1 (which successfully launched on September 29, 2011), which is unmanned most of the time. Previous stations include the Almaz and Salyut series, Skylab and most recently Mir.

Today's space stations are research platforms, used to study the effects of long-term space flight on the human body as well as to provide platforms for greater number and length of scientific studies than available on other space vehicles. Each crew member staying aboard the station for weeks or months, but rarely more than a year. Most of the time crew remain at station but its not necessary that crew should have to be stay at station. Since the ill-fated flight of Soyuz 11 to Salyut 1, all manned spaceflight duration records have been set aboard space stations. The duration record for a single spaceflight is 437.7 days, set by Valeriy Polyakov aboard Mir from 1994 to 1995. As of 2013, three astronauts have completed single missions of over a year, all aboard Mir.

International Space Station

The International Space Station (ISS) is a space station, or a habitable artificial satellite, in low Earth orbit. Its first component launched into orbit in 1998, and the ISS is now the largest artificial body in orbit and can often be seen with the naked eye from Earth. The ISS consists of pressurised modules, external trusses, solar arrays, and other components. ISS components have been launched by Russian Proton and Soyuz rockets as well as American Space Shuttles.

Space

Space is the boundless three-dimensional extent in which objects and events have relative position and direction. Physical space is often conceived in three lineardimensions, although modern physicists usually consider it, with time, to be part of a boundless four-dimensional continuum known as spacetime. The concept of space is considered to be of fundamental importance to an understanding of the physical universe. However, disagreement continues between philosophers over whether it is itself an entity, a relationship between entities, or part of a conceptual framework.

Service module

A service module (or equipment module) is a spacecraft compartment containing a variety of support systems used for spacecraft operations. Usually located in the uninhabited area of the spacecraft, the service module is jettisoned upon the completion of the mission, and usually burns up during atmospheric reentry. The service module is the equivalent to the spacecraft bus assembly on unmanned spacecraft.

Design

Depending upon the spacecraft architecture and system design, a typical service module will usually contain the following:

In 2008, the two-billion-dollar science lab Columbus was added to the station, increasing the structure to eight rooms.
The floating facility's design features a series of cylinder modules attached to a larger truss of a dozen segments. The Zarya Module is mainly used for storage and external fuel tanks, while the Zvezda Service Module houses the crew's living quarters and the station's many life-supporting systems. The space station is powered by solar panels and cooled by loops that radiate heat away from the modules. The station's Destiny laboratory functions as a unique floating facility for tests of materials, technologies, and much more. The Columbus lab was designed to house experiments in life sciences, fluid physics, and other fields.

Future space station 2017

The InternationalSpace Station is a manned orbital station used as a multipurpose space research complex. A joint international project involving 14 countries: the United States, Russia, Japan, Canada and members of the European Space AgencyBelgium, Germany, Denmark, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, France, Switzerland, Sweden. Initially, the participants were Brazil and the United Kingdom.
Management is carried out: the Russian segment - from the Space FlightControl Center in Korolev, the US segment from the Lyndon JohnsonFlight ControlCenter in Houston. Management of laboratory modules - the EuropeanColumbus and the JapaneseKibo - is controlled by the European Space Agency's Management Centers (Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany) and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (Tsukuba, Japan). There is a constant exchange of information between the Centers.
Building
The agreement foresaw the creation of a joint project - the International Space Station (ISS). In addition to the FederalSpace Agency of Russia (Roscosmos) and the National Aerospace Agency of the United States (NASA), the project involved the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), the European Space Agency (ESA, unites 17 member countries), the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), and Also the space agency of Brazil (AEB). Interest in the ISS project was expressed by India and the People's Republic of China. On January 28, 1998, the final agreement on the construction of the ISS was signed in Washington.
The assembly of the International Space Station began in November 1998. Russian modules were launched and docked automatically, except the Dawn module. All other modules were delivered by shuttles, requiring the crew to install the InternationalSpace ShuttleStation with the help of a mobile service system and spacewalks; As of June 5, 2011, 159 components were added for more than 1000 hours of the PAC. 127 of these exits to outer space originated from the station, and the remaining 32 - from the locks docked space shuttle. The beta-angle of the station (the percentage of the Sun's impact on the station and the docked vehicles) must remain unchanged during the entire construction period.
Structure
The International Space Station is a third-generation station with a modular structure, modules can be added or deleted during the flight, which adds flexibility to the structure. Different segments are created by the efforts of the participating countries of the project and have their own specific function: research, residential or warehouse. Some of the modules, for example, American modules of the Unity series, are jumpered or used for docking with transport vehicles. In the completed form, the ISS will consist of 14 main modules with a total volume of 1,000 cubic meters, the crew will consist of 6 or 7 people on board the station.
Station visit
By May 28, 2014, the ISS was visited by 214 people made 359 flights in 40 expeditions, which is a record for space stations (104 people visited the "World"). The International Space Station was the first example of the commercialization of space flights. Roscosmos together with the company Space Adventures for the first time sent into orbit space tourists. In addition, in the framework of the contract for the purchase of Russian arms by Malaysia, Roskosmos in 2007 organized a flight to the ISS of the first Malaysian cosmonaut, Sheik Muszafar Shukor.
DimensionsThe length is 51 meters, the width along with the farms is 109 meters, the height is 20 meters, weight is 417.3 tons. The height of the ISS orbit is 337-351 km above the ground. The speed of the orbit is 27,700 km / h. This allows the station to complete a complete revolution around our planet in 92 minutes. That is, every day astronauts on the ISS meet 16 sunrises and sunsets, 16 times a night replaces the day. Now the ISS crew consists of 6 people.
The International Space Station is the undisputed leader in value (but far from ambiguous in importance and result) a space project. The price of building and maintaining the station in an efficient condition, according to approximate estimates of experts, is already approaching or even exceeded $ 150 billion.

Space Station K1 - Expedtion 2 and Service Mission 1

I apologize for low quality video, but my older version of Adobe Premiere leaves me no alternative.
PART 04 - ServiceMission 1
As the first Expedition draws to a close, future plans for the station require some of its modules to be relocated. For this, a special double-mission will be flown to reposition these modules that cannot move on their own.
Gemini and Titan were also built thanks to Bluedog Design Bureau, but the Falcon (specifically, its engine cluster) required a more unique mod set called SSTU. It appears to have nearly infinitely resizable, repaintable and rescalable parts, as well as single-part craft. While I continue to use Cormorant's shuttle, SSTU has a shuttle body as well. Try it for yourself and see which works better, its still a great part set to have (and we will soon see its crown jewel and the main reason I got it, in upcoming parts)

How the Space Station (ISS) Avoids and Dodges Space Junk Orbiting Earth

How the Space Station (ISS) Avoids and Dodges Space Junk Orbiting Earth

How the Space Station (ISS) Avoids and Dodges Space Junk Orbiting Earth

How does the International Space Station dodge space junk? The 200-ton orbiting behemoth can get out of harm’s way, but not very quickly. In early February, a Russian news service reported that the International Space Station would have to shift its orbit to dodge debris from a Chinese anti-satellite weapons test. The report was wrong, as it turned out. NASA monitored the debris cloud carefully, and finally decided it wouldn't need to move the station.
The incident does raise a question, however: How does the ISS change its orbit, and how quickly could it do so in an emergency?
The station is equipped with a set of 220-pound gyroscopes—stainless steel flywheels that rotate 6,600 times per minute. At least two of these are needed to produce the torque that keeps the station holding the proper attitude without having to waste propellant.
But this kind of tweaking isn't enough to push the ISS into a different orbit. For that, good old-fashioned thrust is needed.
The station has a couple of options for boosting its orbit. Every so often, while unmanned Russian Progress supply ships are docked to the station, their thrusters are fired. To move the ISS safely, Progress' eight engines pulse in a pattern that pushes their thrust evenly through the station's center of gravity.
There are times, though, when no Progress is attached. In that case, thrusters on the Russian Zvezda service module, one of the first large pieces attached to the facility in 2000, could be used. The Zvezda engines haven't been fired in six years, but a test is expected by year's end, says JackBacon, a systems integration engineer on the ISS program. Redundancy is part of the ISS modus operandi. "We always have a plan for a reboost," he says. "We never leave ourselves exposed."
Orbit boosts are routine before any ship docks with the station, although they're not always trouble-free. Last December, for example, the thrusters on a Progress fired for 1,364 seconds to raise the station's orbit by five miles before space shuttle Discovery arrived. It was the second attempt—the first try was aborted after the Progress' engine computer malfunctioned after moving ISS just a single mile.
Aside from these regular orbit changes to meet incoming spacecraft, Bacon says that over the course of its life, the ISS will have to be moved several times to counter the effects of atmospheric drag on the huge solar panels (yes, there's a tiny amount of air even at that high altitude).
But what about bona fide emergencies? How quickly could the station dodge a piece of space junk?
Bacon, who has been part of the ISS program since he joined NASA 16 years ago, says that even with advanced warning, engineers wait until "the last minute" to fire thrusters to avoid a potential threat. The last minute means 1.5 orbits, or about 135 minutes, from the predicted point of collision. That gives the ISS two chances to move over or under any incoming danger. Waiting also allows the SpaceControl Squadron at Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado, which tracks debris in orbit, to refine its predictions about a possible collision. Changing orbits is very disruptive to the work done on the station, and "nine times out of ten you don't have to," Bacon says. "You don't want to maneuver if you don't have to. It's a big deal to fire the engines."
And there are no guarantees—Bacon notes that Cheyenne Mountain can track only objects the size of baseballs and larger. The ISS is designed to survive collisions with objects the size of peas and smaller. That leaves plenty of space junk large enough to cause damage and too small to spot. So even with the ability to move out of the way, luck will continue to play a part in keeping the station safe.

Salyut 7 - The forgotten rescue of a dead space station

In 1985 one of the most audacious space rescue missions was launched by the Soviets to recover a space station that had been dead for months due to an unknown fault.
A feat that was unparalleled in space exploration and rewrote the books on what was thought possible: and yet, its story has fallen into obscurity and conspiracy theories.
This is the story Salyut 7 and how the Soviet crew of two, Vladimir Dzhanibekov and Victor Savinikh against the odds rescued it in a daring mission that was the first of its kind in space exploration.

One-Year Crew Docking to the International Space Station

: This video was taken by the crewmembers aboard the Soyuz TMA-16M spacecraft which docked to the International Space Station at 9:33 p.m. EDT March 27, 2015. NASA astronautScott Kelly and Russian cosmonautsMikhail Kornienko and Gennady Padalka arrived just six hours after launching from Baikonur, Kazakhstan, completing four orbits around the Earth before catching up with the orbiting laboratory.
The vehicle docked to the Poisk module (also known as the Mini-Research Module 2) on the space-facing side of the RussianService Module. The spinning object in view is an antenna that is part of the automatic rendezvous and docking system known as KURS.
Kelly and Kornienko will spend about a year living and working aboard the space station to help scientists better understand how the human body reacts and adapts to the harsh environment of space. Most expeditions to the space station last four to six months. By doubling the length of this mission, researchers hope to better understand how the human body reacts and adapts to long-duration spaceflight. This knowledge is critical as NASA looks toward human journeys deeper into the solar system, including to and from Mars, which could last 500 days or longer. It also carries potential benefits for humans here on Earth, from helping patients recover from long periods of bed rest to improving monitoring for people whose bodies are unable to fight infections.

The InternationalSpace Station is an orbiting laboratory and construction site that synthesizes the scientific expertise of 16 nations to maintain a permanent human outpost in space. While floating some 240 miles (390 kilometers) above Earth's surface, the space station has hosted a rotating international crew since November 2000. Astronauts and supplies are ferried by the U.S. space shuttles and the Russian Soyuz and Progress spacecraft. Astronauts who reach the facility aboard one of these missions typically live and work in orbit for about six months.
Simply by spending time in orbit, astronauts reveal much more about how humans can live and work in space. Crews have learned the difficulties of diet, in a world in which their sense of taste is decreased, and of getting a good night's sleep while secured to a non-floating object.
But the crew is also occupied with a full suite of scientific experiments, the ongoing improvement and construction of the station, and a rigorous regime of physical training. Astronauts must exercise for two hours each day to counteract the detrimental effects of low gravity on the body's skeleton and circulatory system.
Ongoing Construction
The station has been under construction since November of 1998. In that year the first piece of its structure, the Zarya ControlModule, was launched into orbit with a Russian Proton rocket. In 2008, the two-billion-dollar science lab Columbus was added to the station, increasing the structure to eight rooms.
The floating facility's design features a series of cylinder modules attached to a larger truss of a dozen segments. The Zarya Module is mainly used for storage and external fuel tanks, while the Zvezda Service Module houses the crew's living quarters and the station's many life-supporting systems. The space station is powered by solar panels and cooled by loops that radiate heat away from the modules. The station's Destiny laboratory functions as a unique floating facility for tests of materials, technologies, and much more. The Columbus lab was designed to house experiments in life sciences, fluid physics, and other fields.
Docking ports allow the station to be visited by a growing variety of spacecraft, and the Quest Airlock enables access for the frequent spacewalks essential to the facility's continuing construction.
Canadarm2 is another important feature of the space station. This Canadian-built apparatus is a large, remote-controlled space arm that functions as a crane and can be utilized for a wide variety of tasks.
The International Space Station may be completed by the end of this decade. When construction is finished, six crew members will be able to live and work in a space larger than a typical five-bedroom house.

A little behind the scenes for this video, early on animating that little mini map Eisen my animator discovered even small errors were very noticeable and distracted from the tour if the map wasn't reflecting reality within a few degrees. Animating anything for 10 minutes is a big deal so instead of trial and error, he put what he knew about the rules of perspective and made this grid system to line things up, all to make the dots on that map in the corner work like you'd expect them to.

ISS - The Space Station is a collaboration of 15 nations working together to create a world-class, state-of-the-art orbiting research facility. ISS -The Station is much more than a world-class laboratory; it is an international human experiment.
The InternationalSpace Station ISS is a space station, or a habitable artificial satellite, in low Earth orbit. It is a modular structure whose first component was launched in 1998. Now the largest artificial body in orbit, it can often be seen at the appropriate time with the naked eye from Earth. The ISS consists of pressurised modules, external trusses, solar arrays and other components. ISS components have been launched by AmericanSpace Shuttles as well as RussianProton and Soyuz rockets.

China will send its second space lab, Tiangong-2 into space next week, as part of its plan to field a manned space station that is expected to be in service around 2022.
According to CCTV America, Tiangong-2 will orbit 393 kilometers above the earth. The Shenzhou 11 spacecraft, carrying two astronauts, will dock with Tiangong-2 in October. The cargo ship Tianzhou-1 will dock with Tiangong-2 next year to resupply the space station.
Tiangong-2 is expected to monitor the earth while conducting scientific experiments. It will also measure the topography of the oceans in order to study earth’s gravitational field, the TeCake reported.
China’s first space laboratory, Tiangong-1, was launched in 2011 and has been in good working condition ever since.

The InternationalSpace Station is a manned orbital station used as a multipurpose space research complex. A joint international project involving 14 countries: the United States, Russia, Japan, Canada and members of the European Space AgencyBelgium, Germany, Denmark, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, France, Switzerland, Sweden. Initially, the participants were Brazil and the United Kingdom.
Management is carried out: the Russian segment - from the Space FlightControl Center in Korolev, the US segment from the Lyndon JohnsonFlight ControlCenter in Houston. Management of laboratory modules - the EuropeanColumbus and the JapaneseKibo - is controlled by the European Space Agency's Management Centers (Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany) and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (Tsukuba, Japan). There is a constant exchange of information between the Centers.
Building
The agreement foresaw the creation of a joint project - the International Space Station (ISS). In addition to the FederalSpace Agency of Russia (Roscosmos) and the National Aerospace Agency of the United States (NASA), the project involved the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), the European Space Agency (ESA, unites 17 member countries), the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), and Also the space agency of Brazil (AEB). Interest in the ISS project was expressed by India and the People's Republic of China. On January 28, 1998, the final agreement on the construction of the ISS was signed in Washington.
The assembly of the International Space Station began in November 1998. Russian modules were launched and docked automatically, except the Dawn module. All other modules were delivered by shuttles, requiring the crew to install the InternationalSpace ShuttleStation with the help of a mobile service system and spacewalks; As of June 5, 2011, 159 components were added for more than 1000 hours of the PAC. 127 of these exits to outer space originated from the station, and the remaining 32 - from the locks docked space shuttle. The beta-angle of the station (the percentage of the Sun's impact on the station and the docked vehicles) must remain unchanged during the entire construction period.
Structure
The International Space Station is a third-generation station with a modular structure, modules can be added or deleted during the flight, which adds flexibility to the structure. Different segments are created by the efforts of the participating countries of the project and have their own specific function: research, residential or warehouse. Some of the modules, for example, American modules of the Unity series, are jumpered or used for docking with transport vehicles. In the completed form, the ISS will consist of 14 main modules with a total volume of 1,000 cubic meters, the crew will consist of 6 or 7 people on board the station.
Station visit
By May 28, 2014, the ISS was visited by 214 people made 359 flights in 40 expeditions, which is a record for space stations (104 people visited the "World"). The International Space Station was the first example of the commercialization of space flights. Roscosmos together with the company Space Adventures for the first time sent into orbit space tourists. In addition, in the framework of the contract for the purchase of Russian arms by Malaysia, Roskosmos in 2007 organized a flight to the ISS of the first Malaysian cosmonaut, Sheik Muszafar Shukor.
DimensionsThe length is 51 meters, the width along with the farms is 109 meters, the height is 20 meters, weight is 417.3 tons. The height of the ISS orbit is 337-351 km above the ground. The speed of the orbit is 27,700 km / h. This allows the station to complete a complete revolution around our planet in 92 minutes. That is, every day astronauts on the ISS meet 16 sunrises and sunsets, 16 times a night replaces the day. Now the ISS crew consists of 6 people.
The International Space Station is the undisputed leader in value (but far from ambiguous in importance and result) a space project. The price of building and maintaining the station in an efficient condition, according to approximate estimates of experts, is already approaching or even exceeded $ 150 billion.

I apologize for low quality video, but my older version of Adobe Premiere leaves me no alternative.
PART 04 - ServiceMission 1
As the first Expedition draws to a close, future plans for the station require some of its modules to be relocated. For this, a special double-mission will be flown to reposition these modules that cannot move on their own.
Gemini and Titan were also built thanks to Bluedog Design Bureau, but the Falcon (specifically, its engine cluster) required a more unique mod set called SSTU. It appears to have nearly infinitely resizable, repaintable and rescalable parts, as well as single-part craft. While I continue to use Cormorant's shuttle, SSTU has a shuttle body as well. Try it for yourself and see which works better, its still a great part set to have (and we will soon see its crown jewel and the main reason I got it, in upcoming parts)

I apologize for low quality video, but my older version of Adobe Premiere leaves me no alternative.
PART 04 - ServiceMission 1
As the first Expedition draws to a close, future plans for the station require some of its modules to be relocated. For this, a special double-mission will be flown to reposition these modules that cannot move on their own.
Gemini and Titan were also built thanks to Bluedog Design Bureau, but the Falcon (specifically, its engine cluster) required a more unique mod set called SSTU. It appears to have nearly infinitely resizable, repaintable and rescalable parts, as well as single-part craft. While I continue to use Cormorant's shuttle, SSTU has a shuttle body as well. Try it for yourself and see which works better, its still a great part set to have (and we will soon see its crown jewel and the main reason I got it, in upcoming parts)

How the Space Station (ISS) Avoids and Dodges Space Junk Orbiting Earth

How does the International Space Station dodge space junk? The 200-ton orbiting behemoth can get out of harm’s way, but not very quickly. In early February, a Russian news service reported that the International Space Station would have to shift its orbit to dodge debris from a Chinese anti-satellite weapons test. The report was wrong, as it turned out. NASA monitored the debris cloud carefully, and finally decided it wouldn't need to move the station.
The incident does raise a question, however: How does the ISS change its orbit, and how quickly could it do so in an emergency?
The station is equipped with a set of 220-pound gyroscopes—stainless steel flywheels that rotate 6,600 times per minute. At least two of these are needed to produce the torque that keeps the station holding the proper attitude without having to waste propellant.
But this kind of tweaking isn't enough to push the ISS into a different orbit. For that, good old-fashioned thrust is needed.
The station has a couple of options for boosting its orbit. Every so often, while unmanned Russian Progress supply ships are docked to the station, their thrusters are fired. To move the ISS safely, Progress' eight engines pulse in a pattern that pushes their thrust evenly through the station's center of gravity.
There are times, though, when no Progress is attached. In that case, thrusters on the Russian Zvezda service module, one of the first large pieces attached to the facility in 2000, could be used. The Zvezda engines haven't been fired in six years, but a test is expected by year's end, says JackBacon, a systems integration engineer on the ISS program. Redundancy is part of the ISS modus operandi. "We always have a plan for a reboost," he says. "We never leave ourselves exposed."
Orbit boosts are routine before any ship docks with the station, although they're not always trouble-free. Last December, for example, the thrusters on a Progress fired for 1,364 seconds to raise the station's orbit by five miles before space shuttle Discovery arrived. It was the second attempt—the first try was aborted after the Progress' engine computer malfunctioned after moving ISS just a single mile.
Aside from these regular orbit changes to meet incoming spacecraft, Bacon says that over the course of its life, the ISS will have to be moved several times to counter the effects of atmospheric drag on the huge solar panels (yes, there's a tiny amount of air even at that high altitude).
But what about bona fide emergencies? How quickly could the station dodge a piece of space junk?
Bacon, who has been part of the ISS program since he joined NASA 16 years ago, says that even with advanced warning, engineers wait until "the last minute" to fire thrusters to avoid a potential threat. The last minute means 1.5 orbits, or about 135 minutes, from the predicted point of collision. That gives the ISS two chances to move over or under any incoming danger. Waiting also allows the SpaceControl Squadron at Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado, which tracks debris in orbit, to refine its predictions about a possible collision. Changing orbits is very disruptive to the work done on the station, and "nine times out of ten you don't have to," Bacon says. "You don't want to maneuver if you don't have to. It's a big deal to fire the engines."
And there are no guarantees—Bacon notes that Cheyenne Mountain can track only objects the size of baseballs and larger. The ISS is designed to survive collisions with objects the size of peas and smaller. That leaves plenty of space junk large enough to cause damage and too small to spot. So even with the ability to move out of the way, luck will continue to play a part in keeping the station safe.

In 1985 one of the most audacious space rescue missions was launched by the Soviets to recover a space station that had been dead for months due to an unknown fault.
A feat that was unparalleled in space exploration and rewrote the books on what was thought possible: and yet, its story has fallen into obscurity and conspiracy theories.
This is the story Salyut 7 and how the Soviet crew of two, Vladimir Dzhanibekov and Victor Savinikh against the odds rescued it in a daring mission that was the first of its kind in space exploration.
**Apologies to all the Russian speakers out there on the mispronunciations of the crew names, hopefully, next time I will have a better source for how they are meant to sound**

: This video was taken by the crewmembers aboard the Soyuz TMA-16M spacecraft which docked to the International Space Station at 9:33 p.m. EDT March 27, 2015. NASA astronautScott Kelly and Russian cosmonautsMikhail Kornienko and Gennady Padalka arrived just six hours after launching from Baikonur, Kazakhstan, completing four orbits around the Earth before catching up with the orbiting laboratory.
The vehicle docked to the Poisk module (also known as the Mini-Research Module 2) on the space-facing side of the RussianService Module. The spinning object in view is an antenna that is part of the automatic rendezvous and docking system known as KURS.
Kelly and Kornienko will spend about a year living and working aboard the space station to help scientists better understand how the human body reacts and adapts to the harsh environment of space. Most expeditions to the space station last four to six months. By doubling the length of this mission, researchers hope to better understand how the human body reacts and adapts to long-duration spaceflight. This knowledge is critical as NASA looks toward human journeys deeper into the solar system, including to and from Mars, which could last 500 days or longer. It also carries potential benefits for humans here on Earth, from helping patients recover from long periods of bed rest to improving monitoring for people whose bodies are unable to fight infections.

[ISS] Astronauts Complete Contingency Spacewalk to Repair Leak

Highlights from the 5 hours, 30 minutes long Spacewalk.
AstronautsChris Cassidy (EV-1) and Tom Marshburn (EV-2) completed a contingency Spacewalk today at 18:14 UTC after spending 5 and a half hours outside replacing a cooling pump that is suspected to have been the cause of an ammonia leak spotted on Thursday. Whilst they did not see the leak in the old pump themselves whilst out there they did remain watching the new pump as controllers on the ground activated it - after a long inspection the crew reported they saw no leaks and ventured back inside the Station.
This Spacewalk occurred with just 48 hours of planning which was unprecedented in International Space Station history.

Welcome to Lunar Industries - a new ORBITER 2016 video series loosely based on the movie "Moon"! In episode one, we will take-off in the XR2 from KSC and dock with the FuelServiceStation ahead of our planned trip to the moon.

Envisioned as part of Project 921, China's space program shifted to orbital craft and space stations. Here we see Shenzhou 9 mission to Tiangong 1 - the first heavenly palace.
Tiangong-1 is China's first prototype space station, serving as both a manned laboratory and an experimental testbed to demonstrate orbital rendezvous and docking capabilities. Launched unmanned aboard a Long March 2F/G rocket on 29 September2011,[11] it is the first operational component of the Tiangong program, which
aims to place a larger, modular station into orbit by 2023.
Tiangong-1 was initially projected to be deorbited in 2013, to be replaced over the following decade by the larger Tiangong-2 and Tiangong-3 modules,but as of November 2017 it was still aloft, though in a decaying orbit.

The InternationalSpace Station is an orbiting laboratory and construction site that synthesizes the scientific expertise of 16 nations to maintain a permanent human outpost in space. While floating some 240 miles (390 kilometers) above Earth's surface, the space station has hosted a rotating international crew since November 2000. Astronauts and supplies are ferried by the U.S. space shuttles and the Russian Soyuz and Progress spacecraft. Astronauts who reach the facility aboard one of these missions typically live and work in orbit for about six months.
Simply by spending time in orbit, astronauts reveal much more about how humans can live and work in space. Crews have learned the difficulties of diet, in a world in which their sense of taste is decreased, and of getting a good night's sleep while secured to a non-floating object.
But the crew is also occupied with a full suite of scientific experiments, the ongoing improvement and construction of the station, and a rigorous regime of physical training. Astronauts must exercise for two hours each day to counteract the detrimental effects of low gravity on the body's skeleton and circulatory system.
Ongoing Construction
The station has been under construction since November of 1998. In that year the first piece of its structure, the Zarya ControlModule, was launched into orbit with a Russian Proton rocket. In 2008, the two-billion-dollar science lab Columbus was added to the station, increasing the structure to eight rooms.
The floating facility's design features a series of cylinder modules attached to a larger truss of a dozen segments. The Zarya Module is mainly used for storage and external fuel tanks, while the Zvezda Service Module houses the crew's living quarters and the station's many life-supporting systems. The space station is powered by solar panels and cooled by loops that radiate heat away from the modules. The station's Destiny laboratory functions as a unique floating facility for tests of materials, technologies, and much more. The Columbus lab was designed to house experiments in life sciences, fluid physics, and other fields.
Docking ports allow the station to be visited by a growing variety of spacecraft, and the Quest Airlock enables access for the frequent spacewalks essential to the facility's continuing construction.
Canadarm2 is another important feature of the space station. This Canadian-built apparatus is a large, remote-controlled space arm that functions as a crane and can be utilized for a wide variety of tasks.
The International Space Station may be completed by the end of this decade. When construction is finished, six crew members will be able to live and work in a space larger than a typical five-bedroom house.

A small piece of Cosmos 2251 satellite debris safely passed by the International Space Station at 2:38a.m. EDT, Saturday March 24 allowing the six Expedition 30 crew members onboard the orbiting complex to exit their Soyuz spacecraft and resume normal activities.
The crew sheltered in the two Soyuz spacecraft as a precaution, the third time in station history that a crew has had to shelter in place due to the possibility of a conjunction with orbital debris and the first since June 2011. NASA's Expedition 30 CommanderDan Burbank and Russian cosmonautsAnton Shkaplerov and Anatoly Ivanishin were in their Soyuz TMA-22 spacecraft attached to the Poisk module on the space-facing side of the Zvezda service module, while cosmonaut Oleg Kononenko, NASA's Don Pettit and Andre Kuipers of the European Space Agency were in their Soyuz TMA-03M spacecraft on the Earth-facing side of the Zarya module.
The piece of debris was a remnant of a Feb. 10, 2009 collision between the dormant Cosmos 2251 satellite and an operational Iridium 33 communications satellite. The collision added about 2,000 trackable items to the orbital debris catalog. At the time of closest approach, the debris was moving from left to right in front of the station at an estimated overall miss distance of between 11 and 14 kilometers and a radial miss distance of 120 meters.

The InternationalSpace Station is a manned orbital station used as a multipurpose space research complex. A joint international project involving 14 countries: the United States, Russia, Japan, Canada and members of the European Space AgencyBelgium, Germany, Denmark, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, France, Switzerland, Sweden. Initially, the participants were Brazil and the United Kingdom.
Management is carried out: the Russian segment - from the Space FlightControl Center in Korolev, the US segment from the Lyndon JohnsonFlight ControlCenter in Houston. Management of laboratory modules - the EuropeanColumbus and the JapaneseKibo - is controlled by the European Space Agency's Management Centers (Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany) and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (Tsukuba, Japan). There is a constant exchange of information between the Centers.
Building
The agreement foresaw the creation of a joint project - the International Space Station (ISS). In addition to the FederalSpace Agency of Russia (Roscosmos) and the National Aerospace Agency of the United States (NASA), the project involved the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), the European Space Agency (ESA, unites 17 member countries), the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), and Also the space agency of Brazil (AEB). Interest in the ISS project was expressed by India and the People's Republic of China. On January 28, 1998, the final agreement on the construction of the ISS was signed in Washington.
The assembly of the International Space Station began in November 1998. Russian modules were launched and docked automatically, except the Dawn module. All other modules were delivered by shuttles, requiring the crew to install the InternationalSpace ShuttleStation with the help of a mobile service system and spacewalks; As of June 5, 2011, 159 components were added for more than 1000 hours of the PAC. 127 of these exits to outer space originated from the station, and the remaining 32 - from the locks docked space shuttle. The beta-angle of the station (the percentage of the Sun's impact on the station and the docked vehicles) must remain unchanged during the entire construction period.
Structure
The International Space Station is a third-generation station with a modular structure, modules can be added or deleted during the flight, which adds flexibility to the structure. Different segments are created by the efforts of the participating countries of the project and have their own specific function: research, residential or warehouse. Some of the modules, for example, American modules of the Unity series, are jumpered or used for docking with transport vehicles. In the completed form, the ISS will consist of 14 main modules with a total volume of 1,000 cubic meters, the crew will consist of 6 or 7 people on board the station.
Station visit
By May 28, 2014, the ISS was visited by 214 people made 359 flights in 40 expeditions, which is a record for space stations (104 people visited the "World"). The International Space Station was the first example of the commercialization of space flights. Roscosmos together with the company Space Adventures for the first time sent into orbit space tourists. In addition, in the framework of the contract for the purchase of Russian arms by Malaysia, Roskosmos in 2007 organized a flight to the ISS of the first Malaysian cosmonaut, Sheik Muszafar Shukor.
DimensionsThe length is 51 meters, the width along with the farms is 109 meters, the height is 20 meters, weight is 417.3 tons. The height of the ISS orbit is 337-351 km above the ground. The speed of the orbit is 27,700 km / h. This allows the station to complete a complete revolution around our planet in 92 minutes. That is, every day astronauts on the ISS meet 16 sunrises and sunsets, 16 times a night replaces the day. Now the ISS crew consists of 6 people.
The International Space Station is the undisputed leader in value (but far from ambiguous in importance and result) a space project. The price of building and maintaining the station in an efficient condition, according to approximate estimates of experts, is already approaching or even exceeded $ 150 billion.

Envisioned as part of Project 921, China's space program shifted to orbital craft and space stations. Here we see Shenzhou 9 mission to Tiangong 1 - the first heavenly palace.
Tiangong-1 is China's first prototype space station, serving as both a manned laboratory and an experimental testbed to demonstrate orbital rendezvous and docking capabilities. Launched unmanned aboard a Long March 2F/G rocket on 29 September2011,[11] it is the first operational component of the Tiangong program, which
aims to place a larger, modular station into orbit by 2023.
Tiangong-1 was initially projected to be deorbited in 2013, to be replaced over the following decade by the larger Tiangong-2 and Tiangong-3 modules,but as of November 2017 it was still aloft, though in a decaying orbit.
Model of the TiangongSpace Lab and Shenzhou manned spacecraft. Tiangong-1 was visited by a series of Shenzhou spacecraft during its two-year operational lifetime. The first of these, the unmanned Shenzhou 8, successfully docked with the module in November 2011, while the manned Shenzhou 9 mission docked in June 2012.
A third and final mission to Tiangong-1, the manned Shenzhou 10, docked in June 2013.The manned missions to Tiangong-1 were notable for including China's first female astronauts, Liu Yang and Wang Yaping.
On March 21, 2016, after a lifespan extended by two years, the
Space EngineeringOffice announced that Tiangong-1 had officially ended its service. They went on to state that the telemetry link with Tiangong-1 had been lost.A couple of months later, amateur satellite trackers watching Tiangong-1 found that China's space agency had lost control of the station.In September, after conceding they had lost control over the station, officials announced that the station would re-enter and burn up in the
atmosphere late in 2017. As of late November 2017, Tiangong-1 is approximately 290 km high and is falling to earth about 10 km per month.
It is currently expected to deorbit some time between early January and late February 2018.

American and Japanese astronauts aboard the International Space Station will embark on a pair of spacewalks Jan. 23 and 29 to service the station’s robotic arm. Experts from NASA and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) will preview this work in a briefing at 2 p.m. EST Thursday, Jan. 18, at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston.
Live coverage of the briefing and spacewalks will air on NASA Television and the agency’s website.
Participants in the briefing are:
Kenneth Todd, NASA’s International Space Station Operations integration manager
Tim Braithwaite, CSA liaison office manager
Zeb Scoville, NASA spacewalk flight director
Sarah Korona, U.S. spacewalk 47 and 48 officer at NASA
Media wishing to participate in the briefing in person must request credentials from the Johnson newsroom no later than 4 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 17. Media interested in participating by phone must contact the newsroom by 1:45 p.m. Jan. 18.
Expedition 54 Flight EngineerMark Vande Hei of NASA will lead both excursions, joined by Flight Engineer Scott Tingle for the spacewalk on Tuesday, Jan. 23, and by Flight Engineer Norishige Kanai of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) on Monday, Jan. 29. Live coverage will begin at 5:30 a.m., with the spacewalks beginning about 7:10 a.m. or earlier, if the crew is running ahead of schedule.
The objective of the Jan. 23 spacewalk will be to replace one of two redundant latching end effectors (LEE) on Canadarm2, the station’s robotic arm, which has experienced some degradation of its snaring cables. A spare LEE will replace the current LEE B. The Jan. 29 spacewalk will be devoted to securing the degraded LEE B on the station’s Mobile Base System rail car as a spare. Similar work was conducted on the robotic arm’s LEE A during a series of spacewalks last October.
These excursions, U.S. spacewalks 47 and 48, will be the third and fourth in Vande Hei’s career and the first for both Tingle and Kanai.

StellarHub is a space strategy simulation game where you act as the Captain of a space station. You must assemble your station from various modules (med bay, crew quarters, lounge deck, greenhouse, etc.) and manage your crew to fulfill several tasks ranging from command, construction, extraction of resources, research and trade. Each crew member is endowed with a unique set of skills and abilities, as well as emotions and needs. Your goal is to build a safe and functional environment for them to live in and to protect your station against the various threats coming from outside. As you grow and develop your station facilities, you will have the opportunity to hire new characters and expand your team.
THE STORY
At the turn of the 22nd century, the resources of Earth are almost exhausted and humanity is taking advantage of modern technology to reach outer space in hopes of finding a new home among the stars. Following the invention of the superluminal engine, new technologies for spacecraft missions have become widely available making it possible to explore the planetary systems within a radius of 50 light years from Earth. For this purpose, the special program StellarHub was born: a network of space stations designed for fast deployment, scientific research and the mining of minerals along with other resources in outer space. You are one of the space station captains, and you have just embarked on a pioneering mission to explore the near space with your team.
FEATURES
- In fact you can choose from 30 modules including solar panels, research labs, crew quarters, organic farms, greenhouses and many more.
- Six worlds with different playing conditions (sun and meteor activity, the presence of space pirates, resource amount and placement, etc.)
- A wide range of different crew roles to service your station (workers, cleaners, miners, technicians, scientists, medics, botanists, etc.).
- Each character has their unique profession and skills that will improve over time. The system of emotions influences their state and needs.
- The "Scientific Research Map" unlocks special bonuses and technologies for a deeper personalization of your station environment.
- Steam achievement system and Steam trading cards.
BUILD YOUR FULLY-FLEDGED STATION
This is a structure consisting of modules for different purposes. It can be crew quarters, medbay, storage, ore platform, science laboratory and so on. A total of about 30 different modules. The size of the station is limited by the size of the map.
It should be noted that building a large, well-functioning station is a very difficult task. Inside the station, it is necessary to regularly clean, repair, provide all modules with oxygen, monitor the level of energy, etc. While the construction mechanics in the game may look very simple at first, by adding new modules you'll get more opportunities... but also a lot of hassle to try to keep everything good and functioning!
MANAGE YOUR UNIQUE CREW
Your station can not function without people. That's why your crew is the most valuable thing you have. We paid special attention to this aspect of the game. Each team member has a name, a portrait and an individual set of physical characteristics, such as strength, speed, endurance, intelligence and character. Then individual personality characteristics, such as observation, slovenliness, fussiness, soreness, laziness, propensity to alcohol, etc., follow. Also, there are parameters responsible for the character's state - health, satiety, fatigue, mood. Separately, it's worth to say about a whole set of characteristics describing professional skills, for example medicine, science or mining.
Thus, a member of the team can work (increasing his skills), relax, have fun, eat, etc. At the same time, his mood may suddenly deteriorate, he may get sick, get hurt or even die. Each character receives a salary, so you need to monitor and finance.
As a result, it turns out that your space station is a complex organism, it is not easy to control, but it is very interesting and fascinating.

Megastructures - INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION (ISS) - Full Documentary HD

The InternationalSpace Station is an orbiting laboratory and construction site that synthesizes the scientific expertise of 16 nations to maintain a permanent human outpost in space. While floating some 240 miles (390 kilometers) above Earth's surface, the space station has hosted a rotating international crew since November 2000. Astronauts and supplies are ferried by the U.S. space shuttles and the Russian Soyuz and Progress spacecraft. Astronauts who reach the facility aboard one of these missions typically live and work in orbit for about six months.
Simply by spending time in orbit, astronauts reveal much more about how humans can live and work in space. Crews have learned the difficulties of diet, in a world in which their sense of taste is decreased, and of getting a good night's sleep while secured to a non-floating object.
But the crew is also occupied with a full suite of scientific experiments, the ongoing improvement and construction of the station, and a rigorous regime of physical training. Astronauts must exercise for two hours each day to counteract the detrimental effects of low gravity on the body's skeleton and circulatory system.
Ongoing Construction
The station has been under construction since November of 1998. In that year the first piece of its structure, the Zarya ControlModule, was launched into orbit with a Russian Proton rocket. In 2008, the two-billion-dollar science lab Columbus was added to the station, increasing the structure to eight rooms.
The floating facility's design features a series of cylinder modules attached to a larger truss of a dozen segments. The Zarya Module is mainly used for storage and external fuel tanks, while the Zvezda Service Module houses the crew's living quarters and the station's many life-supporting systems. The space station is powered by solar panels and cooled by loops that radiate heat away from the modules. The station's Destiny laboratory functions as a unique floating facility for tests of materials, technologies, and much more. The Columbus lab was designed to house experiments in life sciences, fluid physics, and other fields.
Docking ports allow the station to be visited by a growing variety of spacecraft, and the Quest Airlock enables access for the frequent spacewalks essential to the facility's continuing construction.
Canadarm2 is another important feature of the space station. This Canadian-built apparatus is a large, remote-controlled space arm that functions as a crane and can be utilized for a wide variety of tasks.
The International Space Station may be completed by the end of this decade. When construction is finished, six crew members will be able to live and work in a space larger than a typical five-bedroom house.

A little behind the scenes for this video, early on animating that little mini map Eisen my animator discovered even small errors were very noticeable and distracted from the tour if the map wasn't reflecting reality within a few degrees. Animating anything for 10 minutes is a big deal so instead of trial and error, he put what he knew about the rules of perspective and made this grid system to line things up, all to make the dots on that map in the corner work like you'd expect them to.

ISS - The Space Station is a collaboration of 15 nations working together to create a world-class, state-of-the-art orbiting research facility. ISS -The Station is much more than a world-class laboratory; it is an international human experiment.
The InternationalSpace Station ISS is a space station, or a habitable artificial satellite, in low Earth orbit. It is a modular structure whose first component was launched in 1998. Now the largest artificial body in orbit, it can often be seen at the appropriate time with the naked eye from Earth. The ISS consists of pressurised modules, external trusses, solar arrays and other components. ISS components have been launched by AmericanSpace Shuttles as well as RussianProton and Soyuz rockets.

China to launch Tiangong-2 space station next week - TomoNews

China will send its second space lab, Tiangong-2 into space next week, as part of its plan to field a manned space station that is expected to be in service around 2022.
According to CCTV America, Tiangong-2 will orbit 393 kilometers above the earth. The Shenzhou 11 spacecraft, carrying two astronauts, will dock with Tiangong-2 in October. The cargo ship Tianzhou-1 will dock with Tiangong-2 next year to resupply the space station.
Tiangong-2 is expected to monitor the earth while conducting scientific experiments. It will also measure the topography of the oceans in order to study earth’s gravitational field, the TeCake reported.
China’s first space laboratory, Tiangong-1, was launched in 2011 and has been in good working condition ever since.

All The Space Stations In History

Here are all the space stations that have ever orbited the earth. Some as big as a footba...

Future space station 2017

The InternationalSpace Station is a manned orbital station used as a multipurpose space research complex. A joint international project involving 14 countries: the United States, Russia, Japan, Canada and members of the European Space AgencyBelgium, Germany, Denmark, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, France, Switzerland, Sweden. Initially, the participants were Brazil and the United Kingdom.
Management is carried out: the Russian segment - from the Space FlightControl Center in Korolev, the US segment from the Lyndon JohnsonFlight ControlCenter in Houston. Management of laboratory modules - the EuropeanColumbus and the JapaneseKibo - is controlled by the European Space Agency's Management Centers (Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany) and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (Tsukuba, Japan). There is a constant exchange of information between the Centers.
Building
The agreement foresaw the creation of a joint project - the International Space Station (ISS). In addition to the FederalSpace Agency of Russia (Roscosmos) and the National Aerospace Agency of the United States (NASA), the project involved the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), the European Space Agency (ESA, unites 17 member countries), the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), and Also the space agency of Brazil (AEB). Interest in the ISS project was expressed by India and the People's Republic of China. On January 28, 1998, the final agreement on the construction of the ISS was signed in Washington.
The assembly of the International Space Station began in November 1998. Russian modules were launched and docked automatically, except the Dawn module. All other modules were delivered by shuttles, requiring the crew to install the InternationalSpace ShuttleStation with the help of a mobile service system and spacewalks; As of June 5, 2011, 159 components were added for more than 1000 hours of the PAC. 127 of these exits to outer space originated from the station, and the remaining 32 - from the locks docked space shuttle. The beta-angle of the station (the percentage of the Sun's impact on the station and the docked vehicles) must remain unchanged during the entire construction period.
Structure
The International Space Station is a third-generation station with a modular structure, modules can be added or deleted during the flight, which adds flexibility to the structure. Different segments are created by the efforts of the participating countries of the project and have their own specific function: research, residential or warehouse. Some of the modules, for example, American modules of the Unity series, are jumpered or used for docking with transport vehicles. In the completed form, the ISS will consist of 14 main modules with a total volume of 1,000 cubic meters, the crew will consist of 6 or 7 people on board the station.
Station visit
By May 28, 2014, the ISS was visited by 214 people made 359 flights in 40 expeditions, which is a record for space stations (104 people visited the "World"). The International Space Station was the first example of the commercialization of space flights. Roscosmos together with the company Space Adventures for the first time sent into orbit space tourists. In addition, in the framework of the contract for the purchase of Russian arms by Malaysia, Roskosmos in 2007 organized a flight to the ISS of the first Malaysian cosmonaut, Sheik Muszafar Shukor.
DimensionsThe length is 51 meters, the width along with the farms is 109 meters, the height is 20 meters, weight is 417.3 tons. The height of the ISS orbit is 337-351 km above the ground. The speed of the orbit is 27,700 km / h. This allows the station to complete a complete revolution around our planet in 92 minutes. That is, every day astronauts on the ISS meet 16 sunrises and sunsets, 16 times a night replaces the day. Now the ISS crew consists of 6 people.
The International Space Station is the undisputed leader in value (but far from ambiguous in importance and result) a space project. The price of building and maintaining the station in an efficient condition, according to approximate estimates of experts, is already approaching or even exceeded $ 150 billion.

Space Station K1 - Expedtion 2 and Service Mission 1

I apologize for low quality video, but my older version of Adobe Premiere leaves me no alternative.
PART 04 - ServiceMission 1
As the first Expedition draws to a close, future plans for the station require some of its modules to be relocated. For this, a special double-mission will be flown to reposition these modules that cannot move on their own.
Gemini and Titan were also built thanks to Bluedog Design Bureau, but the Falcon (specifically, its engine cluster) required a more unique mod set called SSTU. It appears to have nearly infinitely resizable, repaintable and rescalable parts, as well as single-part craft. While I continue to use Cormorant's shuttle, SSTU has a shuttle body as well. Try it for yourself and see which works better, its still a great part set to have (and we will soon see its crown jewel and the main reason I got it, in upcoming parts)
